====== Eazy80-512 For RomWBW ======

===== Introduction =====

Eazy80-512 is Eazy80 rev2 pc board configured with 512K RAM to run RomWBW. The design was derived from [[builderpages:plasmo:eazy80:eazy80r1pcb:eazy80r1home|modifications to rev1 pcboard]] that supported RomWBW.

This configuration of Eazy80 replaces the standard 128K RAM with a 512K RAM and populate the 74HCT32 under the RAM chip. The 74HCT32 is part of the memory bank controller that partition the 512K RAM into 16 banks of 32KB. The 4 outputs of 74HCT32 are bank selects that drive the 4 high addresses of 512K RAM so the low 32K of Z80 addresses (0x0-0x7FFF) is mapped to one of 15 banks. When high 32K of Z80 is accessed, it always maps to the highest bank, bank 0xF, of 512K RAM. The bank register is controlled by 4 discrete outputs of channel C of PIO, PC0, PC1, PC2, PC6.
